Eye movements can be created manually by your therapist moving his/her fingers back and forth across your visual field. However, the eye movements can also be created using a 'light bar', in which you follow a light that moves back and forth across a metal bar.
Some therapist use auditory bilateral stimulation, in which they click their fingers alternating from ear to ear. These clicks can also be created through headphones and you can listen to a range of alternating sounds. Some therapist use music to create the alternating sound which you can also listen to with headphones.
Other therapists use tactile bilateral stimulation, in which they tap your hands alternatingly. To create a simliar effect, some therapists use small vibrating items that you can hold in your hands, and this vibrates alternatingly from one hand to another.
